<p class="subhead">Pooches put on a display during weekend dog show</p>
<p>A person walking around campus this weekend would have noticed a bit
more animal activity than usual as the Sun Maid Kennel Club of Fresno
put on its annual all--breed dog show.</p>
<table width="100" border="0" align="right" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" class="storyText" id="teasterbox">

<p align="justify">Three hours before they even arrived at the
kennel club show Saturday, Jeani Yoshimura (right) and Chris
Endow had been grooming their Pomeranian, Meepers, in preparation
for the confirmation competition at 10:30 a.m. The pair of proud
dog owners had been awake since 3:30 a.m. getting Meepers and
their two other Pomeranians ready for the show. Yoshimura has
been a Pomeranian lover ever since she first saw one at a dog
show and had to have one.</p>

<p> Every patch of grass from the science building to Thomas Administration
was filled with four-legged contestants and their two-legged owners—all
joined in friendly competition. </p>
<p> In the agility division, spectators could watch as canines crawled
up A-frames, balanced on seesaws and darted between weave poles.</p>
<p> Those interested in a more slowly paced event could have headed over
to either the obedience ring—where the relationship between dog
and master was the focus—or to confirmation, an event similar to
the Westminster Dog Show many have seen on television. </p>
<p> Mixed in among the event areas were booths where people could buy every
imaginable piece of dog paraphernalia under the sun, from dog door
mats, to dog socks to ceramic figurines of dogs.</p>
<p> Although the show had usually been held at the fairgrounds, the two-day
event was moved to campus after the Fresno Home and Garden Show booked
the fairgrounds first.</p>
